A charming Provencal village

Les Adrets de l'Estérel is a truly magnificent village, bathed in sunshine and surrounded by exceptional scenery. If you have a car, you'll be able to enjoy the peace and quiet of a small village while taking advantage of the nautical pleasures of the coast. The former coaching inn "l'Auberge des Adrets" still exists and welcomes visitors and travellers alike.

Hiking in the Estérel massif

The Estérel massif surrounding Les Adrets is covered with state-owned forests of pine and cork oak, and dense vegetation with many Mediterranean species: pink and white heather, broom, rockrose and juniper. There are many superb walks to be made along these trails, some of which will take you to the shores of the Avellan and Saint Cassien lakes.

Avellan and Saint-Cassien lakes

These two lakes are a veritable paradise for anglers. Lac de Saint Cassien also boasts small beaches for swimming, as well as pedalos and guinguettes. Great fun in summer!

The famous Gaspard de Besse

In the past, the Esterel was perceived as a wild massif, and for a long time had a bad reputation due to the high number of stagecoach robberies. It was the favorite haunt of the famous "Gaspard de Besse" gang (the local Robin Hood), who would rob travelers on the road to Italy, then redistribute the loot to the poor and go into hiding in the Estérel forest. Today, those days are gone, and the village of Les Adrets savors its gentle, peaceful Provencal atmosphere.
